Purpose:
To reduce wrinkles and fine lines, and areas of uneven pigmentation.
The treatment:
This treatment should be carried out by a trained operator in an establishment registered by the Healthcare Commission.
Light rejuvenation treatments are carried out using lasers, intense pulsed light or light heat energy systems. These treatments are 'non-ablative'. This means that they affect the middle or dermal layer of the skin without causing too much damage to the top layer of the skin. The treatment works by stimulating the dermal layer of the skin to produce more collagen, which 'plumps out' fine lines or wrinkles.
Your eyes must be protected with specially designed goggles during the treatment. Different light-based systems will work differently on different skin types. An initial course of treatments may be needed to achieve the desired effect, and a further treatment every six months may be necessary to maintain this effect. |
